Re: Rumor Harbs to Michigan or Texas

I didnt even think Chris Hoke was in any trouble. I know UMich isnt winning as much as the fans would like and they had a mediocre year this season but I would never have figured him to be on the hot seat yet. I mean it seems like he just got there.

Anyway I remember this story when it first came out and I laughed and laughed. And now seeing it again I am laughing and laughing again.

They hate us..... but they want to BE us. (.... or at least poach all our players/coaches/FO people!)

Re: Rumor Harbs to Michigan or Texas

I didn't believe it when someone posted this same thing a few weeks ago and I still don't now. I just feel if there was anything to these rumors then someone in the local media would have uncovered it and come out with it. Wouldn't be reading about it on a site called "Chatsports" and a forums.

It's not something any of us should really be concerned with anyway, if he left, Bisciotti and Newsome could literally name their coach out of pretty much any NFL assistant/NCAA coach out there. This is a top five coaching job in the NFL, even coming off the year we did, they would have no problem finding an excellent successor to Harbaugh.

My preference is an offensive genius, but there are no Chip Kellys/Trestmans/McCoys available this year I don't think

You're kidding, right? Was John Harbaugh on your list last time? Few had even heard of him. When Harbaugh finally does leave no one will be able to make a credible list of candidates for this team. Ozzie and Steve don't talk

I'm not sure this makes Harbaugh a "merc". I'd be surprised if it was only $20,000. Good freinds with guys who routinely hire speakers for Fortune 500 companies and they don't blink at 6 figures for a one hour event.
